Think of an open social network as similar to a public square. This is a place where everyone—member, non-member, affiliated, unaffiliated—can gather together. In contrast, a private social network—frequently called a “walled garden”—is only made available to authorized individuals. Both types serve beneficial purposes.
This paper focuses on such aspects of Facebook as:
- Moderation
- Branding
- Spiritual Functionality
- Reporting
- Online Giving
- Advertising
- Interest Tags
- Weekly Event Emails
